Well, this sucks. My Wall Street Journal has not arrived this morning -- instead, they desecrated my driveway with today's edition of the New York Times. I used to read that paper regularly -- 20-something years ago. Today, it is merely another propaganda organ for the kulturkampf. No seriously, it's that bad.
I forced myself to read some of it. What the hell? It's here. It is awful. Vicious, really, given that the make-believe world they've constructed requires an enemy. Just about everything they write oozes the virtue of the heroic Red Army and laments the sordid evil of a White Army that is so backward it doesn't realize it has already been defeated.
It's crazy stuff -- because it's clear that the villains in their allegorical narratives are meant to be people like me. (Or, uh, people like Steve -- who ought to check to see if his mailman is a NYT subscriber, because that might explain things).
Anyway, I'm not interested in debating the Bolshevik revolution. Or reliving it. Or funding some dreamer's efforts to advance its fronts. The fake intellectuals at NYT clearly have other plans.
A common trope used by the statists is the accusation that one has "played politics" in supporting competing policies. (Sure enough, it was in today's NYT.) What it almost always means is "the state owns everything and any attempt to move power back to the people is just a dirty trick."
Kind of like the weather!
Yes, the NYT-types have completely hijacked the weather (a/k/a/ "climate") through its years of global warming alarmism. No need to rehearse here the many holes in their "science" but suffice it to say: it's September 1 and it's 49 friggin' degrees again! You fuckers promised me warmer weather, and here it's not even Labor Day and I'm thinking of turning on the friggin' furnace!
Eh, good thing I have a WSJ.com subscription. So I'll read a little news this morning, to balance out the fabian fantasies of the NYT. As for the statists they celebrate, they are easy enough to understand: they are looters. And if you have to ask who's being looted, chances are it's you.
